New Droid X Update Available Now; Comes with Several Bug Fixes

The amazing Droid X just got a little bit better. A new incremental update was released for the phone that brings it up to version 4.5.621.MB810. Not only does it include some important bug fixes, it also has some useful new features. Here's a breakdown:

Over the Air Updates

Prevents lockups or resets after the Over the Air (OTA) update.
OTA update notice screen displays the correct estimated update time.

Device Features

Improved browser security with the Google Security Patch from Android 2.3.6.
Fixed issue where the device may power ON without user interaction.
Resolved possible device resets while playing music.
Adjusted camera settings will be saved, even after the device is powered down.
Reduced Out of Memory errors.
WAV files can be played from Visual Voice Mail.
Device is enabled with the Wireless Alerting System.
Improved stability of Music Player reduces resets.
Shortcuts to applications remain on the device even after applications are moved to the SD card.

Keep something in mind about this update... according to reports across the web, this new .621 update breaks the ability to SBF your Droid X back to an earlier version. If you want it, you can manually check for it by going to Settings> About Phone> System Update.

For me, it worked great for a bit and seemed like it was back to Gingerbread working well on the DX. Then I tried Liberty3 2.0 on a friend's phone and remembered how fast it was, and APEX on another and the CM9 ICS Kang on another...and I realized...it's not so great. Also, it has rebooted twice and today has just been sluggish. Hopefully someone will figure out how to root it soon!

now you know

you buy and own the phone but V doesn't want you to alter the software. funny this update came so long after the phone was discontinued even though it really doesn't fix the main bugs people are chatting about
i guess in reality we just lease the phone

That's why I wont install it. Root and ROM'ing is the only reason this phone hasn't been repeatedly runover by a semi.

Update failed.

I had someone root my droid using bootstrap and rom manager. I wanted to uproot it but they guy that rooted it can't help. My phone is dog right now and I would like to get some pep back into it. Can any one help me uproot it? I feel I can uproot it if I had instructions, but I'm not up on the language you guys use, like SBF, I have no idea what that means, lol, just being real. Thank you to anyone that can help.

What's your current version? System settings>about phone. And is it stock or running a rom?

OK well first thing to try is do a battery pull, put it back in, then press and hold home, while powering on, once you see the android guy, let go...then press both volume buttons....youll see a screen with blue text, scroll down to wipe cache partition with volume buttons, then choose it with power, once finished select reboot system now....that should help....you can install a rom, and do various tweaks also to help performance
